Billy Ray Cyrus - Back to Memphis
Intro Chord - D
(verse)
DA
It ain't natural for a delta man,
GA
To be surrounded by all this sand,DA
To fear the echoes of live rounds,GA
To never sleep when the sun goes down,
(Bridge)
BmAG
So I'm writing you this letter,
DEm7 Asus/A
To say I miss you more than ever and to promise you this,
(Chorus)
GAD
WHEN I make it back to Memphis,
GAD
I'm gonna take you in my arms,
BmG
And never let you go,
AD
And girl I promise you a kiss,
F#mBmA - G
For every day we've missed,
AD
'Til I make it back to Memphis,
(verse)
I'll have to say I think we've done some good
If I had to do it all again I know I would
There's still a few shots every now and then
But they say this thing is finally coming to an end
(bridge)
So this might be my final letter
I say the sooner the better cause I'm ready to come home
(chorus)
When I make it back to Memphis
I'm gonna take you in my arms
And never let you go
And girl I promise you a kiss
For every day we've missed
'Til I make it back to Memphis
(bridge)
BmAG
She reads his letters everyday,
ABm
Then she puts them all away,
AG
Next to his medal and a flag,
F#mEm - D - G
That she would gladly give back,
(chorus)
GAD
If it would bring him back to Memphis,
GAD
So he could take her in his arms,
ABmG
And never let her go,
AD
Cause he promised her a kiss,
F#mBm - A - G
For every day they've missed,
AD
'Til he made it back to Memphis,
GAD - C - G - D
If he could only make it back to Memphis,
D
Back to Memphis
Back to Memphis
Back to Memphis
